16 REPOET ON THE COMPLETION OF THE MAKERSTOUN OBSERVATIONS. 
I have devoted my best energies, may ultimately be found to have added some- 
thing of importance to our knowledge of the wondrous works of that Infinite 
Being, the Creator of all things and the Redeemer of men. 
And I have the honour to be, 
Sir, 
Your very obedient, 
And very humble servant. 
JOHN ALLAN BROUN. 
Edinburgh, July 1850.
